chuck hagel the guy who is going to fix all of this, right? >> john: true. chuck hagel one thing i will say for the man he seems like he will be a huge advocate for veterans rights. isn't this a victory for lgbt? >> a huge victory. the problem in the inconsistency in the obama administration, why did it take the aclu to take this to court? >> why indeed. >> john: trisha, i have a question for you. according to ppp congress now has a favorable rating of 9%. chlamydia is at 12%. why is congress's rating this low after bringing us back from the fiscal cliff? >> i think any time you consistently see petty self-interests ideological warfare, no interest in the common good and a profound disengagement from the everyday citizen who is suffering enormously. i'm not talking just about the very, very bottom. i'm talking all the way through all of the class -- very class ranks up until the lofty 5%. everyone below that is in such deep crisis that any time you see this kind of jockeying and supporting policies for mobility for wealth for the rich, it is devastating. i t

i think hagel is a big knock-down drag-out fight but in end he gets through, too. he is the only one that has a chance to be blocked. >> judge? >> agreed. knock-down drag-out and he will get in and he is in there because he is the guy to draw down the military for this president. >> i'm not going ask for one word. >> two? hyphenated. >> bret: that is it for the panel. stay tune for a game of compare and contrast. constipated? yeah. mm. some laxatives like dulcolax can cause cramps. but phillips' caplets don't. they have magnesium. for effective relief of occasional constipation. thanks.

not necessarily thrilled about becoming our next secretary of defense, not like i'm defending chuck hagel. obama campaigned twice on ending the wars in iraq and afghanistan and both times americans gave him over 50% of their vote. if charles is not happy about that i'm sorry, he's up front he's going to do before he became president and followed through, twice again, not just in 2008, but the past year. secondly, when it comes to america's power, the same people that are screaming about him wanting to not exercise american power were the same people screaming he went to libya and what's he doing in libya, why is he consulting and what's he doing? sometimes they may feel he overplays his hand on foreign policy. sometimes they think he doesn't play it enough. to me paraphrase something that charles krauthammer said about bush when he said bush-- and charles is it actually having the obama syndrome, whatever obama does charles is on the face of it and people like charles are going to be opposed to-- >> charles is a psychiatrist, so, he would be able to analyze your analysis. >> he could prob
